Work experience

About our work experience programme

Our one-to-five-day work experience programme is designed for students aged 14 and over who want to:

• explore the wide range of roles available across our region
• discover what it’s like to work in one of our industries
• gain insight into what career path is right for them.

Whether you’re interested in electrical engineering, construction design, water pollution or corporate services, we most likely have something for you.

Pick your pathway

You can choose from one of the following three pathways:

• Corporate Business
• Science and Environmental
• Engineering and Construction.

Our pathways are delivered across a range of locations within the region. Depending on the pathway you choose, your week will involve working across different departments, giving you valuable insight into a variety of roles within our business in your local area.

Working hours differ between pathways. You should be ready to arrive at your allocated location by 8am each morning, although final details will be confirmed if your application is successful.
